Snow Day #8


Oh. my. goodness.  February is really hurting around here.  Aside from our regular challenges, Mom and the kids have each had the stomach bug which was brutal.  Kylie has strep throat which started as a 103.8 fever and incoherent babbling in the middle of the night.  Terrifying for Mom.  We have only had one regular school day since February 13th.  We had all of last week off and a 2 hour delay this Monday followed by Kylie's strep throat yesterday and a full blown snow day today.  Phew.  


At least Mom got her into the pediatrician as soon as they opened their doors yesterday, and they saw her fluid and blood covered tonsils and prescribed the strongest medicine for strep.  She is feeling much better today and was up and out in the snow with Will.


and Tank.




Wait.  Where did Will go?






We explored the woods, looking for animal tracks, but all we found was Tank.  Over and over again.  















It was alright snowman making snow, so we headed back to the yard to make one.





and then it was inside for hot chocolate and movies and crafts.  Baseball practice starts on Sunday.  Thank goodness.

Snow Day



We had our 4th Snow Day from school today, but our first actual SNOW!  Everything is closed today, so no swimming, no basketball, no place to go.  Will was out in the snow before the rest of the family finished breakfast.  


Kylie and Mom joined him soon after for some exploring and sledding.










Will headed inside before us because he had been out there a long time before us.  










We're heading back out in a few to sled down the road.  I guess we will all get our exercise in without our normal sports today.
